RepostBy @mastrength: Do you have trouble staying upright in the first pull? Are you tired of see-sawing during the #snatch or #cleanandjerk? It could be due to insufficient glutes. . If your #glutes are not active from the start, then they cannot pull posteriorly on the pelvis to keep your body upright. . Demonstrated by Jr World Champion Zhao Yongchao (85kg), the #sumodeadlift is an excellent accessory movement to work on the glutes because the torso is less able to work due to its more upright position. To do this style of #sumo#deadlift, just follow these steps: . 1). Take the same stance as your clean #deadlift. 2). Use a narrow grip. 3). Keep your balance on the ball of the foot until the lock out. 4). Activate your glutes to stay upright through the movement . Bonus: use #straps to relax the arms and completely focus on posture and glute activation. Need a pair?

I really struggle to do some of my most challenging straps movements on the rig at the studio. Partly because it’s so low, and partly because I can’t get into the zone: there’s always something to clean, somewhere to tidy, or polish or hoover, an email to reply to, equipment to quadruple check, replacement orders to be made. So even though these muscle ups look shit, I can finally do them at home whoop yey x
